"We (myself, husband and 5 and 8 yo) decide to take your advice {in
the White Hat newsletter] on Sunday and
headed into the city using our Sunday Saver tickets. We didn't quite make to
The Potter as we got side-tracked visiting The Magic Tent at the Art Centre,
followed by a visit to The Ian Potter Centre where the kids took part in the
NGV's Biggest (Kids) Drawing Ever. We now have to make sure we go back in
Sept for them to see the finished product. We then caught the tram to
Gasworks where we had a lovely time talking to Children's Illustrator Ann
James. My daughters were thrilled to be read a book which doesn't go on the
shelves for months yet (they were told they only about the 10th people to
hear it) and then we had a leisurely browse of the bookshop while the rain
poured down outside. The girls chose a book each, raced back up the stairs
to get Ann James to sign the one illustrated by her, and then we finished
with hot drinks in the cafe and a look at some of the artwork. A great way
to spend a rainy day and it cost us very little."

"I have just stumbled across your website and I love it! It’s so good to have all that’s on in Melbourne on one site. Thank you."

"I like getting all this info...it's easier using your web site and email than searching What's On in Melbourne via Google - ( search by date? by subject? - if you know all that you don't need to search, that's why White Hat is good)."

"The White Hat site is amazing - I can't believe how many things happen in this city that I don't take full advantage of! I have a friend visiting from Brisbane in a fortnight's time, and this site has helped me with dozens of ideas for what to do while he's here. Keep up the excellent work!"

SCIENCE NEWS
Australia's first female Nobel Prize Winner
White Hat congratulates
Dr Elizabeth
Blackburn on becoming Australia's first female
Nobel Prize Winner.
Readers of our site will know that we have predicted that she would
become a Nobel Prize winner for some time and that Elizabeth
Blackburn has long been on our list of
200 Significant
Australians and 100
Important Living Australians despite the National Trust Living
Treasures list passing over her and people like Fields Medal winner
Terry Tao in favour of
minor media presenters. Congratulations Dr Blackburn from those thousands who
like you studied science at the University of Melbourne.

White Hat congratulates the two Australians, Phil
Ashworth and Dr. Graham Robertson whose invention for baiting
commercial long lines underwater is expected to save many thousands
of seabirds each year from becoming accidently hooked and drowned by
the fishing activities of coastal tuna and swordfish vessels
worldwide. The World Wildlife Fund announced in Viga, Spain, that
the invention had won their 2009 award to reward innovations from a
field of 71 competitors from 27 countries. The award aims to
minimise ‘bycatch’ (unintended and wasted wildlife casualties of
commercial fishing) by rewarding and inspiring individuals and
companies who create what they adjudge to be best inventions that
achieve that purpose. The next award will be made in 2011. For more
information about Australian inventions go to

Guide to Australian Inventions.
